NB: This kit excludes glues, tools and paints required for assembly

The A-10 Thunderbolt II was developed by the Fairchild Republic in the seventies with the purpose to create, accordingly the needs of the USAF, a powerful aircraft capable to perform close air support missions including attacking tanks and armored vehicles. The Thunderbolt II is heavily armored and exceptionally tough. It is characterized by the two General Electric turbofan engines and the adoption of one of the most powerful aircraft guns ever flown: the 30 mm. GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling. Thanks to its eleven underwings and under-fuselage pillars, the A-10 can carry an impressive offensive payload. The A-10 was used in combat for the first time during the Gulf War in 1991 and it has shown its operational effectiveness in destroying more than 900 enemy tanks.
